Fallaize uncertain as Education seeks confidence vote

EDUCATION will next week ask the States for a vote of confidence, in the wake of the GCSE results saga.

Four of five members of the board have offered their resignations for debate in an emergency billet released this morning which, if accepted, would trigger an election.

Minister Carol Steere and deputies Tony Spruce, Matt Fallaize and Mike Collins have all offered to resign, with only David De Lisle standing firm.

Depending on how Deputy Steere's offer is received, the whole board could remain in place, be given a fresh mandate or see a new board selected.

Deputy Steere and deputies De Lisle and Collins were unavailable for comment, but Deputy Spruce (pictured) , as second-in-command, said he would stand for re-election if the opportunity arose.
